The 24-year-old has had a phenomenal few years professionally with his second album x hitting number one in 15 countries and becoming the most streamed album in the world on Spotify.

However, he has revealed he wants to take a break after five years of performing and promoting all over the world on a relentless schedule.

"I'm taking a break from my phone, emails and all social media for a while," he wrote on Instagram.

"I've had such an amazing ride over the last five years but I find myself seeing the world through a screen and not my eyes so I'm taking this opportunity of me not having to be anywhere or do anything to travel the world and see everything I missed."

He reassured his 16.1 Tiwtter followers and 5.5 million Instagram followers that he would return bigger and better with his upcoming third album promising to be his best.
